Canada released their dietary guidelines for 2019—and they are pretty revolutionary. Their latest guide advises both eliminating dairy and trying to replace most animal protein foods with plant-based sources. The guidelines don’t focus on set food groups or serving sizes, but rather emphasize consuming whole, plant-based foods and avoiding most beverages except for water.
The guidelines are split up into three main sections—foundations for healthy eating, foods and beverages that undermine healthy eating, and the importance of food skills. When it comes to eating advice, the guide simply says to consume produce, whole grains, and protein foods regularly, with most of the protein being friendly for vegetarians and vegans. It also says to avoid saturated fat by consuming unsaturated sources, which are mostly plant-based foods or fish. And it never mentions dairy consumption.

Is this the 4 Big Macs a day followed by a Poutine chaser (It’s Canada!) diet?
It looks like it worked so well for the Health Minister.
You mean US dairy farmers protected by price supports? That’s some competition.
It all depends on the individual. Some people do well on a vegetarian diet, others do not.
My Instant Pot doesn’t like the idea of making grass for dinner all the time.
Contrary to nature. Humans are carnivores. Humans eat meat, eggs, grain and vegetables. Denial of this is insanity.
I understand North Koreans make a mean bark soup.
Paging Euell Gibbons....
I think it’s two things, at least for me: overall calories- if I eat more than I burn, I gain, if I burn more than I eat I lose- and the quality of those calories - crap calories like sugar and saturated fats take their toll no matter how far and fast I run or how much I lift.
I think the saturated fats- in any but the smallest amounts - and the high fructose corn syrup just flat out aren’t the right fuel to be putting in *my* body if I want to be feeling good and raising hell at 100+.
I think it’s omnivore. Meat is great, but I’m not so sure about the quality of the crap at most stores; now elk or venison :-)
Meat and dairy should be reserved for the Elites. No meat for the Proles. And since the fat in whole milk is necessary for infant brain development, we don’t want the Proles producing smart children. No telling what that might lead to.
No more Canadian Bacon?
Time to grow GREENBEEFOS! (The Ultmate Catalyst). Vegetables that taste like meat, And there is a reason for it.
I realized that in the ‘60s.
Guess God gave us teeth for no reason other than a Kodak moment.
Vegetables are what food eats.
no meat or dairy sounds like a recipe for death by B-12 shortage ...
‘evidenced based’ means that unless there’s a blood test or image or number of some kind, then you are not sick.
self-reported symptoms are not “evidence”. Neither is clinical experience for that matter. In other words, ‘evidence based’ docs are little better than human veterinarians ...
you should run kicking and screaming away from any doc that likes to throw around the term “evidence based”. A really good cardiologist is all about clinical experience and judgement, because almost nothing in the cardiac world is cut and dried ...
